Recent statements about "dubbing" with Beta Hi-Fi machines seemed
to me to be unclear.  Chuck Forsberg is correct in saying that
dubbing video and audio together requires two VCR's when making
substitutions for either video or audio or both.  This is due to
the overlay of the video signal onto the audio.  However, one can
record either video or audio sound by themselves from any source.
This apparently gives us audio sound only bettered by CD's.
Beta Hi-Fi should be an excellent place holder until digital
audio tape technology is reasonable in price.  This is my
understanding of the situation; corrections are appeciated.
